5.0 out of 5 stars Baum works magic in this little-known series, Jul 8 2003

By	"cammielou" (Phoenix, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sky Island (Paperback)

Much as I love the Oz books (and I have all 14), THIS is my favorite Baum book. Sky Island is the continued adventures of Trot and Cap'n Bill (meet them in "The Sea Fairies", also fun) and Button Bright as they face the mighty Boolooroo of the Blues and the beautiful Queen Tourmaline of the Pinkies, Sky Island's two countries and two races. A wonderful tale, which in the process shows us how to get along with those who are different from ourselves.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great, Dec 14 2002

By	John Schowalter (Hamden, CT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sky Island (Paperback)

This fairy book has some wise philosophy about xenophobia and cruel leadership, but the charm is thin. Baum wrote it during the hiatus when he hoped he'd written his last Oz book. Fortunately, public demand defeated him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sky Islands review, Jul 16 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sky Island (Paperback)

Being a L.Frank Baum fan, I loved Sky Island. It is a enchanting book with the main characters as a charming little girl named Trot and a kind sailor-by name Capn' Bill. I loved this adventuras book, which involes a magic umbrella and a exciting run-in with some blularoos. I wont give the book away, but if your are thinking about giving this book to a child- (being 14 myself) I still love reading it, and its definetly worth the money and time.
